MOUNT GRAHAM, Arizona - Running to preserve this sacred mountain from telescope construction, more than 200 American Indians ran a two-day relay across rugged country, offering prayers and ceremonies for the protection of the mountain held sacred by Apache and other Indian nations and tribes.
Runners began in the intense heat of Tucson and then ran through the rugged outback, even swimming in canyon rivers at night. Later, they were pelted by rain before running up the highest mountain in southern Arizona, Mount Graham.
